I tried level 1 for my uses and they still do not have access to the discussion plugin
Is this designed only for level 255 ?
or am i missing something in my setup of this plug-in

Do you mean setting up the plugin, or accessing the Forum?
You can open the forum by calling
http://yourblog/index.php?serendipity[subpage]=forum
The setup of certain items is restricted to level 255, that is true!

Did you call the URL I gave you, with the index.php?serendipity[subpage]=forum URL?
What's your URL, then I can look at it.

weweartights.org
I'm sorry but just not sure what you are saying the URL must contain
weweaartighs.org/forum/index.php
or
weweartights.org/index.php
if it's much longer than any of these (which I might add don't work ) then maybe a link to the forum on the blog webpage is what I'll end up using...once I get it working
thank you

Ok I've got it working and with a link from the blog page.
I see now that only the or a "Adnministrator" can start a "discussion"
It would be nice if the "Administrator" could set the discussion "open" for other user levels to start a discussion.
thank you

Hm, I think this should already be possible.
You might want to drop by the official forum plugin support forum at

I've been to that site and they sent me back here.
My experience with this plug-in thus far doesn't seem to support users other than the administrator. The administrator is the only one who can create a "new" discussion board.

Hi Craig...
I didn't understand you on the discussion in my blog, so I sent you here...
Sure, only the administrator is allowed to create a new discussion board. But
every user, registered and unregistered, is allowed to start a new discussion (thread) in every board. So I still don't know, where the problem is...

Ah you answered my question.
So "only" the administrator is allowed to start a new "board"
I wanted that ability (to start a new board ) available for the registered user as well.

I doesn't see the sense behind this. There's no (normal) discussion forum software which allows his users to create a new board. Well, I don't know phpBB very well, but I think this is also not possible there.
What could be the reason to let normal registered users create their own boards??!
This would result in an absolutly chaotical structure.
